dublin aikikai aikido
Mountjoy, Dublin,
IS A JAPANESE MARTIAL ART THAT DEALS WITH AGGRESSION BY BLENDING WITH AND
REDIRECTING AN ATTACK RATHER THAN MEETING IT HEAD ON. ITS TECHNIQUES ARE BASED
ON NATURAL FLOWING MOTION RATHER THAN STRENGTH, SO AIKIDO IS SUITABLE FOR BOTH
SEXES AND FOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES. AS WELL AS BEING AN EFFECTIVE FORM OF
SELF-DEFENCE, AIKIDO’S NATURAL MOVEMENTS HELP TO RELAX THE BODY AND TO RELEASE
STRESS AND TENSION. REGULAR PRACTISE WILL IMPROVE CO-ORDINATION, POSTURE, SELF
CONFIDENCE, CONCENTRATION AND FITNESS LEVEL. STUDENTS CAN BEGIN BY ATTENDING ANY
OF OUR CLASSES. NO SPECIAL EQUIPMENT IS REQUIRED - JUST LOOSE, COMFORTABLE
CLOTHING SUCH AS TRACKSUIT BOTTOMS AND A T-SHIRT. CLASSES TAKE PLACE IN A
FRIENDLY, OPEN ENVIRONMENT WHERE BEGINNERS AND MORE ADVANCED STUDENTS TRAIN
TOGETHER.
